It was a tough call for me as well.
I looked at the S-Class, very compelling but too common, and not distinct enough; plus didn't have the handling characteristics.
The A8, even more comfortable than the S, but lacked a V8 and power.
The Panamera, too sporty and expensive.
The Flying Spur, technology too outdated.
The LS, my second-choice, very unique and I love the Japanese execution at this level of luxury, plus good power and handling.
Ultimately, the 7 was the best total package for me. The A8 was more comfortable, I slightly prefer the S interior, the LS was the most exciting, the Panamera was the fastest, and the Bentley was the most impressive.
But, as a whole, the 7 was the best choice.
